Project Forge
The infrastructure for modern financial modeling
Solving problems old and new
Financial analysis remains trapped in outdated spreadsheet infrastructure, where up to 80% of an expert’s time is lost to data extraction and debugging rather than high-value judgment.
This siloed, fragile environment not only wastes human wisdom but also baffles current AI models, which struggle to interpret the implicit, grid-based logic of proprietary financial models compared to the structured clarity of open-source code.
We are solving these problems by designing a financial modeling platform that keeps the right human in the right loop: thoughtful, user-centric product design that empowers the analyst while harnessing the ever-increasing potential of AI.
Our ethos
Headquartered in London, the company was founded by a former investment analyst with over 15 years of experience - the exact target user of Forge. As such we hold a naturally built-in user-centric philosophy to product development.
We are always interested in meeting talent. Open roles are listed here. Nothing that fits at the moment? Feel free to contact us anyway.
